From Tumbbad to Bajirao Mastani: Indian Cinema’s most visually stunning films

   

Indian cinema has produced many visually stunning films over the years, showcasing exceptional use of color palettes, sets, and cinematography. These films stand out for their breathtaking visuals and artistic brilliance, let’s delve into what makes these films a visual feast for audiences. Tumbbad (2018) Sohum Shah’s Tumbbad is a masterpiece in visual storytelling, set against the backdrop of a rural Indian village drenched in perpetual rain. The film uses earthy colors and deep shadows to create a creepy and atmospheric feel. Natural light and the play between light and dark add to the horror, making the visuals both haunting and unforgettable, and the crumbling walls and eerie hallways keep the viewers’ suspense at an all-time high. New fans and old alike can experience this Indian folklore horror once again as it re-releases in theaters on September 13. Mughal-E-Azam (1960) Mughal-E-Azam was groundbreaking for its time, being one of the first Indian films to use Technicolor. It is a classic that set new standards for visual storytelling in Indian cinema. Initially, director K. Asif filmed a few reels in color, including the iconic song Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya. Impressed by the results, he sought to re-shoot the entire film in Technicolor. Despite facing delays and impatience from distributors, he released the film partially in color, with some scenes vividly showcasing the opulence of the Mughal era, including the famous Sheesh Mahal (Palace of Mirrors). Bajirao Mastani (2016) Bajirao Mastani provides viewers with a visual treat, as it is rich with vibrant colors that highlight the grandeur of the Maratha empire. The film features stunning Shaniwar Wada palace interiors and elaborate battle scenes that reflect the historical setting with impressive detail and beauty. Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s use of colors enhances the storytelling, making the film a classic. For more entertainment news, stay tuned to BollywoodLife.
